All life confronts vast and occasionally rapid environmental changes, as one day, and one season, is to the next a completely different environment. Heinrich's narrative illuminates the complete experience of his seasonal life―with the ups and downs of not just the leaves and snow, but also the problems, solutions, and frustrations of unblinking immersion in nature. He observes the \"common uncommon\" of spiders, ants, chestnut trees, porcupines, owls, and mice as his story branches out into five themes: Being, Becoming, Interbeing, Remembering, and Returning. \u003ci\u003eThe Common Uncommon\u003c\/i\u003e is a narrative of small surprises in nature, some delightful and some―brought on by climate change―devastating, all seen through the sharp eye of a world-renowned naturalist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bernd Heinrich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798228832534\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tantor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/21\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e CD","brand":"Bernd Heinrich","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":48447333368063,"sku":"9798228832534","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ceb371f7-47d1-44bc-91f8-75466d8cf954.jpg?v=1777230407","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-common-uncommon-bernd-heinrich-9798228832534","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
